Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 398
When Ogawara heard the voice behind him, he shuddered and turned around immediately.What caught my eye was a young man in a gray suit, and the sunflower badge on the coat clearly showed that he was a lawyer.The moment Ogawara saw him, he was taken aback.

The lawyer is very young.Judging from the appearance alone, it seems that he is just a student who has just graduated from university for two years.However... however...

Ogawara felt a dissonance.His instincts told him for some reason that something was wrong with this young man, and something was very wrong.The lights in the side passage of the auditorium emitted a faint yellow light. Under such circumstances, Da Heyuan couldn't see the young man's expression very clearly.However, the aura reflected in his gestures seemed to clearly tell the dean that this lawyer was dangerous.

Ogawara frowned slightly, sized up the young lawyer in front of him, and suppressed this weird intuition in his heart.The other party is just a kid who just graduated, so it is impossible to cause too much trouble.Maybe it's because I've been really tired recently.So much so that I was taken aback by such a little ghost.

Thinking of this, Ogawara smiled.

When the female secretary next to her saw Bei Yuan, her face turned pale with fright.After all, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was definitely a major fault of the administration to let someone in who the senior did not want to see.The female secretary said in a trembling voice, "Bei... Lawyer Beiyuan, it's not convenient for our school to entertain you."

Beiyuan stretched out his hand, straightened his tie a little, and smiled, "Is it inconvenient to receive him, or he doesn't want to receive him."

The young lawyer didn't choose to entangle with the secretary, but took a blunt step, walked forward, and stood in front of Ogawara.The expression on his face was unusually calm, without the slightest bit of nervousness or timidity because of the big figures in the field of Oriental Engineering in front of him.On the contrary, he showed a kind of ease, as if he and Ogawara were on equal footing.

Da Heyuan's expression became more unhappy, and his voice raised slightly: "I understand the law. I know that according to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the university can refuse the so-called lawyer's investigation. In other words, The law does not give you the right to force us to cooperate with you!"

Ogawara knows this legal clause because Prosecutor Iwanaga has trained him.

Beiyuan sneered, "I'm afraid, the professor doesn't know that there is a second half of this law. That is - lawyers can apply to the court to obtain evidence. If the court agrees, the relevant legal persons, organizations and individuals must cooperate with the court to issue instructions."

Kitahara slowly opened the zipper of the briefcase, and a piece of A4 paper with the seal of the Sakyo District Magistrate was taken out.I saw a few eye-catching Chinese characters printed on it - "Notice of Obtaining Evidence".

"The Sakyo District Magistrate's Court has approved my application for taking evidence and issued a notice of taking evidence. According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, Kyoto University must cooperate faithfully." Kitahara said with a faint smile.

"What should I do? What should I do?! The other party came directly to the university!" Da Heyuan anxiously paced back and forth in a private room.The decoration in the box is luxurious, a pair of Ukiyo-e is hung on the indoor wall, and there are imported ceramics with exquisite workmanship beside it.This is a hidden upscale hotel in Kyoto University.

Inside the box, there were two figures sitting.

One of the figures is the lead prosecutor in charge of Morimoto's corruption case, Iwanaga.The other figure is Ikegami, the vice president of the Tokyo Local Bar Association.

Since noon was approaching, Ogawara met the young lawyer, and the lawyer showed the legal documents from the court, no matter how calm Ogawara's heart was, there was still a trace of panic.He immediately dialed the phone number of prosecutor Yan Yong, and at the same time, he also found Chigami, the vice president of the Tokyo Bar Association who happened to be staying in Kyoto recently, and had an urgent meeting in the afternoon to discuss a solution.

"Professor, please don't worry. That's just an ignorant blackmail lawyer." Ikegami picked up the sake cup and took a sip. "I know this Beiyuan very well. In the past, it was only by luck that I got to where I am today. In order to repay Huge debts, and constantly filing blackmail lawsuits. Now, I don’t know what’s wrong with his head, and he actually put the target of blackmail on my alma mater. As a former student of Peking University, I will definitely not tolerate the emergence of this situation. "

Hearing what Ikegami said, Daheyuan stopped pacing, pulled out his chair and sat down, "It's Barrister Ikegami. I just heard that he was also the attorney representing the plaintiff in the previous plagiarism case of ancient book counting and proofreading! And... …He also won Utsunomiya, our law professor at Kyoto University. If he really targets me, then I have to take it seriously.”

Hearing Ogawara's words, Ikegami coughed, showing a little embarrassment, and then his expression quickly returned to normal, "Yes, he did win these blackmail cases by luck before. However, it is now a criminal case. Criminal cases and There is a fundamental difference in civil cases. It involves the seriousness of a country's national law. It is absolutely impossible for the chief judge to still mess around with him."

"The specific situation, I think it's better to let the prosecutor Yan Yong, who has rich experience in public prosecution, introduce it." Ikegami turned to look at the prosecutor beside him.

Yan Yong nodded slightly, and said: "Professor Ogawara, don't need to worry too much. This lawyer is also lucky. When he applied to the court to obtain evidence, it happened that the chief referee of this case, Judge Sakuma, was on vacation. So a temporary substitute referee Kandai Sakuma made a decision to approve the application."

"The magistrate didn't notice that this case was a case of pleading guilty and accepting punishment. If he noticed that the defendant had already pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, it would be impossible for him to agree to the defendant's lawyer's application for interrogation. This is completely an action to overturn the case."

"However, what should we do now?" Daheyuan leaned forward and asked, "The other party has come with the papers from the court. I can't possibly reject the other party. There are many industry-research joint ventures. Things are all confidential matters, if such an outsider is still able to retrieve them at will, how can the research at Kyoto University be carried out.”

Yan Yong laughed contemptuously, "Professor, please don't worry, the other party is just trying to scare you."

"What's the explanation? After all, the other party took the documents from the referee." Da Heyuan couldn't help asking.

"Any legal clause can only be considered deterrent if it has penalties." Yan Yong said: "The so-called penalties are unfavorable legal consequences. For example, the professor drove through a red light and was deducted points and fines. Among them Penalty points and fines are penalties. If the law only prohibits running a red light, but does not stipulate any penalties. Then, even if you run a red light, there will be no adverse consequences. In this case, the so-called Prohibition is just empty words, just to scare people."

Yan Yong smiled triumphantly, "This is the case in the criminal procedure law. Although the law stipulates that the court can obtain evidence from legal persons, organizations, and individuals, we have the obligation to cooperate truthfully. However, the criminal procedure law does not There is a penalty for not cooperating with the taking of evidence. That is, if we do not provide any evidence to that lawyer, we will not suffer adverse consequences."

"In other words, the so-called cooperation in obtaining evidence is just a dead letter." Yan Yong's voice sounded in the private room.

Ikegami nodded, and also showed a slightly wretched smile, "In this case, the head of the school. We can sternly shut down Morimoto's defense lawyer. Let him understand thoroughly that the so-called reversal of the case is not true. It’s possible. Honestly confessing your guilt and accepting punishment is the right path.”
